Added a message for when a recipients mailbox is full and when there are too many items in it. This will display if:
The recipient has 200 emails in their mailbox.
The recipient has 20 emails in their mailbox with an item attached.
Emails that originate from the Exchange, a mission or other game systems are not included in these totals.
The maximum number of auctions that a player can have active on the Exchange at any given time is 40.
This limit is reduced by one for every returned auction email that is in the player's mailbox.
New French and German localizations have been added.
Server stability updates.

So let me understand this. Let us say, for argument, that between my characters I have 2000 returned exchange mail items. Now, it seems that the new limit is 40 items per account, not character. So, my whole account is now automatically banned from using the exchange, which means I have no way to get rid of the returned items other then destroying them.
Unless, of course, I can use the mail system to mail them to an alternate account, which, of course, is free to create now that the game is free to play. If the system allows me to send outgoing mail, I suppose this is a workaround.
But you are essentially forcing your customers who may have hundreds or even thousands of returned items in the mail to create new accounts (taking up your sever space) and either running two STO clients at once or switching between accounts in order to undo the damage made by tomorrow's patch.
And, of course, if the new limits prevent us from sending outgoing items, we are essentially in a Catch-22 situation because we will have a lot of items in the mail that we cannot sell on the exchange because we have too many items in the mail.
If you want my two cents, I think the exchange listings should be unlimited for gold members, or at least have a much higher effective limit, like 200. You also should improve the exchange system so that it works better. For instance, instead of having a two week limit, give us the option of either having the item returned or being automatically re-listed at a lower (say 5% minimum) price. Also, it is silly that I have to guess which one of my 11 characters has an exchange item. Expired items should be available from any character and list the last price along with the lowest listed price and the average price the item sold for over the past two weeks.

Hooray for Mail and AH caps!

I believe it has always been that. The difference is that now when an exchange item expires and you get the mail, it does not free up an exchange slot. At least, that is what I am understanding.
It's the same thing i understood... Could anybody else confirm this?

Why not just get rid of all that returned items mail? :rolleyes:
I might be wrong but, as far i understand once you retrieve your item from the mail system the auction slot should be freed.
So if the exchange returned all your items, then you should retrieve them from the mail, so you can post them again...
But again... I might be wrong

And to the one posting that link for me, thank you, I appreciate it.

No, I think that is how the notes describe it. My question was about people who had far too many returned items to retrieve. From what I have seen so far, the restrictions seem to be per character, so you could send them to another character. However, given the recent problems with the mail system, I am going to cross my fingers and hope that is how it works tomorrow.

Because that would be a sensible and logical idea that doesn't allow for endless complaining on forums.
Aye. It would be nice if they just removed the time limit and just let us pull the items that won't sell at a given price instead. As you said, though, too sensible.
I don't want to have to sit and click delete 400 times just to clear up a handful of spots for the exchange.
No reason we can't have a check box "check all" and then click delete.
Eh, in a Perfect World anyway. ... That was a pun. A bad one. XD
Hahaha!! That is just what I ended up doing yesterday
I am sorry to say, but it seems you've necro'd this thread. (The last post is longer than 30 days ago, you can read it here).
Seeing you only posted very few posts, this can happen
Have fun and Prosper.
